This lighter styled Malbec will appeal especially to those who find most Malbecs too overpowering or heavy. Still, it has good concentration despite its lack of muscularity. Savory, smoke-y undertones balance the dark fruity profile. Suave, mild tannins mean this is a wine to enjoy now. It’s a good example of “less is more.” The price adds to its enjoyment.
